Is Poltchageist good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Surprise Attack on Poltchageist (Twilight Masquerade), doing 30 for 1 Energy. The bulkiest version is Poltchageist with 40 HP. 1 version has free retreat, which makes Poltchageist easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Fire attackers — that's its weakness.
